Description
Greetings!
Currently, I am a student in Hamburg, Germany pursuing my graduate degree in 'Resource Efficiency in Architecture and Planning'. I am keen to learn about sustainable ways of living as well as organic farming, permaculture, and communal living.
I already possess a degree in Construction Engineering. After which I wanted to widen my knowledge on a larger scale and understand the ways of urban metabolism, so I chose to study unique course on sustainable urban planning in Hamburg. One day I hope to establish a sustainable living quarter with least possible carbon footprint and a complete circular economy within the community, which can be applied to dense and gigantic establishments around the world.
My motivation for joining this work away community is to have a research idea for my thesis, as well as learning new techniques, ways of living, learning new diets, and of course, gain deeper knowledge in all aspects of sustainability. When I was in India, I was fascinated by the communal living established in a little town called 'Auroville', although I was not a long term volunteer there, the new outlook on life completely changed my path of thinking.
I love cooking different cuisines and always up for trying something new. As an avid traveler, I have visited countless places in India, and now I wish to do the same in Europe. I like to bike, be lost in nature and music. I like to keep my living space clean and be independent.
